AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers consistently praise the smoky, tangy My Selection BBQ burger as the standout item, capturing the fast-food chain's reliably satisfying and craveable comfort-food vibe.
“The BBQ My Selection is a disaster. The bread is hard, the meat is way overcooked — dry, tough, like chewing gum. The barbecue sauce barely has any flavor, and the color reminds me of toothpaste. The salad doesn't bring any freshness, the cheese is weird, and the bacon isn't crispy at all, it's like a pudding. The whole thing is unbalanced: the emmental is sweet, the BBQ sauce is sweet, the onion is sweet — there's no savory contrast. It costs €8, which is way overpriced for what it is. Honestly, it's a piece of shit.”
